    Materials Eliminate Toxic Plastics
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    Food Reduce Animal Products
    In your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?

    I would guess that both the huge amount of advertising and availability of various meat in shops and restaurants, are the reason for the large amount of meat consumption in North America as well as in Europe. Once we start to think of alternatives to meat, it is easier to change to vegetarian options.

    Yes, bamboo is available to purchase as fabric materials for clothing, some food (mostly canned food so far) and as a building material for flooring and decorative surfaces in interior design, as well as smaller household products like bowls, plates, picture frames etc.
